ALIVE (Conversation With An Angel)
Yes, there’s heat and it comes from a place inside
I’m trying to describe to an angel what it’s like to feel alive
And the sky is clear blue, and the air the color of tea
I know I’m not really alone although this place looks empty
This is....what it’s like to be alive
And sometimes when your out on a drive
and the sky is throwing colors and it feels like a circus ride
And sometimes his hands so gentle and alive
moving slowly over me make me want to cry
This is....what it’s like to be alive
And sometimes when I shut my eyes
and I feel like I’m breaking through
I know you’re here
I just can’t see you - but I know you’re here
And there’s a strange way that time warps and disappears
When you’re surrounded by light and love,
and laughing through your tears
Here, take this rock in your hands - can you feel the solid cool?
No? I’m sorry, I’m sorry
I didn’t mean, didn’t mean to upset you
This is....what its like to be alive
I’m not cruel, no really I’m not
I’m just working hard to untie this knot,
the one that keeps me earth bound
when I just want to fly - this is.... what it’s like to be alive
BREATHE
If love is just another word and time is just another set of hands
If this is just another perfect day, oh, why
If you are just another friend, why does touching you make me feel this way
There’s so much to understand
chorus -
I want to break bread with you, to dance amongst the dead with you
To fall into the arms of the sea and to breathe
I want to break each rule with you, I want to say I can be true
To feel your body breaking through is to breathe, breathe again
If the world is really breaking down and everything around us isn’t real
Why would we be afraid, oh why?
If you are just another soul and I am just another shooting star
Then everything is coming ‘round --
Shallow water dream a steam, marry into ocean great
If love can capture every dream then why the hell then would we wait
FREQUENCY
I’ve got this crystal and I’m holding it in my hand
and there’s a light in the middle and it’s shooting light all around me
on all the walls the most beautiful colors I’ve ever seen
and I feel like I’m leaving my body behind
chorus -
If you don’t like what you see, change your frequency
If you don’t like what you hear
the time is coming, the time is coming, now
It’s late at night and I’m swimming in he ocean
and the water is dark and it’s moving all around me
and it’s loving me into it and I’m not afraid
cause I’ve got the moon and I’m singing my songs to the moon
I’m not here - only light
You’re not here - only light
Everything inflicted and endured
Falls away in a single word --- LOVE
I’m walking down this path and I see a bolt of lighting
and it strikes something in front of me and I’m holding on to anything
but nothing seems the same anymore
and I just want to cry all the tears the world has ever held inside
FURTHEST DISTANT ORBITING SATELLITE
I know you didn’t expect to hear from me, you thought that I was gone
but I had a dream you were worrying and wondering what went wrong
in the same way a star explodes and a universe is born
chorus -
I’m your furthest distant orbiting satellite
And I feel like I’ve been drifting all my life
I know you are too busy now and you just don’t have the time
but I had to call you up to hear your voice over this line
And I promise not to hurt you, the explosions are behind
I’m your furthest distant orbiting satellite
Can you answer a call from deep space
I’m out here and I’m going under
I see you in the moons face
and everywhere I wander
I’m your furthest distant orbiting satellite
and I called to say I’m missing you tonight, just missing you tonight
GOING TO CALIFORNIA
Spent my days with woman unkind, smoked my stuff and drank all my wine
Made up my mind got a brand new start, going to California with an aching in my heart
Someone told there’s a girl out there with love in her eyes and flowers in her hair
Took my chances on a big jet plane, never let them tell you they are all the same
The sea was red and the sky was gray, I wondered how tomorrow could ever follow today
The mountains and canyons start to tremble and shake
the children of tomorrow begin to awake
It seems that the wrath of the gods got a punch in the nose
and it started to flow, I think I might be sinking
Throw me a line and I’ll reach it in time, and I’ll meet you somewhere
where the path is straight and high
To find a king without a queen they say she’s plays guitar and cries and sings
Find a while mare in foots steps of dawn trying to find a women who’s never been born
Standing on a hill in a mountain of dreams, trying to tell myself it’s not as hard as it seems
MY LUCK HAS CHANGED
Woke up this morning something’s feeling different now
The sunlight in the doorway was begging me to get up
and walk out and into a city scape
taking me away, and I don’t know where
but I know it’s something good
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, I think my luck has changed
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, I feel my luck has changed
It was raining when I met you,drank coffee ‘till the city smeared
There was something different, today you said hello and the sky cleared
as we walked into the park, and we’re still talking after dark
I don’t know what this is
but I know it’s something good
Tell me if I’m dreaming, you can wake me gently when you say good-bye
But if I’m not dreamin' then the only limitation is the sky
PHOTOGRAPH
In this world it makes me shimmer and this world it makes me scream
With all the hope we have inside us, still life is but a dream, but a dream
And all the hours we hold on to and all the love we think we share
Everybody’s walking, we’re just walking up a stair, walking a stair
chorus --
I’m studying your photograph, I’ve saved it all these years it’s left a mark
on everything thing I think is beautiful
I’m studying your photograph, trying to recall, trying to get back
to a time somewhere where everything was beautiful
I watch the sun upon the water and we’re talking to the trees
I see the angels and their faces and their begging’ me please, begging me please
Just when I think the world is dying, she’s just starting to live
There’s a moral to this story, she says forgive, forgive, forgive
SILENCE WILL NOT SAVE US NOW
GIve me something to believe in when the world is set on fire
There’s a breaking down and giving in, although we swore that we were right
Now the fuse in lit and all the colors are burning bright, this time...
Our silence will not save us now
Open the door and let me breathe somehow
The water is rising coming in over the door
Our silence will no save us now
Standing on the front line, my friends we are not shamans now
We don the gear of warriors
Take this and make sure mother knows that I love her, that I love her
TASTE OF FATE
I’m hearing rain inside my head and all the while the tears are coming
The levy’s breaking
Floating high above this place, while my steps I’m trying to retrace
It leaves me shaking
Talk to me the way you do and coax the flame to rise,
coax the flame to rise like a moon
Here is comes, here is comes, head, heart and sky
Don’t tell my brother I’m no angel, don’t tell my mother I’m no saint
Don’t tell my lover I’m not faithful, for this I kneel, I pray and I wait
Don’t leave me standing in the garden
Just for tonight please stay away
I feel so cold and alone here, alone to taste my fate
It’s hard to keep my will from crashing down
the way you throw your love around leaves me aching
Here I thought you were the one, the one who understood
Now I find out you were only faking
You are the one to bring me back, to bring me, back to live in dream time
Where there’s only one heart, one head, one head, one sky
It’s hard to keep my will from crashing down it’s all I have left to call my own
The city rises up and groans and takes a breath and looks around
to find something it truly owns
In between the cracks there lies a secret we all know
And we’re sworn to keep it
There’s only one love, one heart, one head, one sky
WE ARE NOT STRANGERS ANYMORE
I took you to the edge, I told you to get undressed
and you did, because I told you
I held you against the wall until you melted like wax
into me, because I love you
I held you up against the backdrop of the darkness
until you screamed it, because I need it
Ripped the top off of the geyser and held you until morning
with nothing in-between us
We are not strangers anymore
I took you deep inside the candle of your light
and you were, because I told you
I forced my love upon you against my wishes to control you
and it was, because I love you
I told you not to stay, but you did it anyway
and you cried when I told you
We mustn’t fuss or fight, it’s a shame to waste this light
in your eyes, we are not strangers anymore
YOU MISTOOK ME FOR A BOY
You mistook me for a boy. To be so near and yet so far away
If I could I’d kiss you now. I’d kiss you hard, I’d kiss you deep
chorus ---
Don’t tell me that my plans are crazy
Don’t tell me that I might as well get some sleep
Don’t tell me you don’t know what I’m thinking
You are the only one who has ever gotten deep
Don’t tell me that I’m cute when I’m angry
Don’t tell me I remind you of someone else
Don’t tell me that I’ve got to get grounded
There’s just something I’ve got to say
You mistook me for a boy. I walked down your hall in my mind
I slip in your room and watch you sleep. Is it love or is it crime?
You mistook me for a boy and now I’m under you and you’re over me
I don’t say the right thing, I don’t wear the right clothes,
She’s more a girl that I could ever be
My ships are in your harbor, my men are waiting my command
I don’t say the right things I don’t wear the right clothes
This is not all that I’ll ever be
